My family loves this reference tool! We plan trips for our 5 children using this book as a guide. Even our baby can be included because the book rates the difficulty and distance of the various sites. We wouldn't hike without it!

This is a great book that really makes my camping trips. I have children and with this we are able to find the hikes that we can do with them so that everyone has a great time, a must for the New Mexico Hiker with kids.

This is a great resource. It is very accurate when it rates difficulty and terrain of a hike. We have found it to be right on target. It also points out some interesting sites you might see on the hike, such as large pieces of obsidian, interesting plants, etc.

We have gone on several of the hikes in this book, and have enjoyed all of them. I not only recommend this book to families with kids, but to adults who like to hikes as well. This book gives the details on an extensive range of hikes. There are 1 mile hikes that are fun for toddlers, 2-3 mile hikes that are good for slightly older hikers, and 4-8 mile hikes for more experienced kids and adults. The guide is full of information on each hike, such as where to look out for poison ivy and oak, what to expect during certain months, historical tidbits, and fun things to show the kids(such as fossils).

I was recommended this book about 9 years ago...it is one of our most used reference books. The hikes described are quite accurate, with good driving directions. There are plenty of hikes listed throughout the state. I often give a copy of this book to families new to the area and they find it an invaluable resource, too. If you want to get out and about the Land of Enchantment and turn your kids on, too...this is the book for you!
